Profile

I am a very well qualified and experienced Psychosexual Therapist, with special expertise in the area of sexual dysfunction and spinal cord injury, working part time at the National Spinal Injury Centre . I became interested in the impact that illness has on sexuality, sexual function and relationships after my own spinal cord injury in 1996.

I work with people struggling with sexual problems, whether as a result of illness or not.

I have worked successfully with couples suffering with loss of desire, erectile problems, painful sex, vaginismus, problems with orgasm, and altered body image issues, disabled clients and gay couples.
I offer training to health and social care professionals regarding sexual rehabilitation after illness or disability.

Day or evening appointments are available in Garstang Lancashire with full wheelchair access.
